Volkswagen will show a concept of a new electric car at the IAA Mobility Show in Munich
Volkswagen is preparing to premiere a new entry-level electric crossover at the Munich Motor Show. VW's chief designer Andreas Mindt has published in social networks official sketches of the concept, which the manufacturer itself calls "almost serial".
Here's What We Know
The model will be an electric analogue of the T-Cross and younger brother of the ID.4. In terms of size, it will enter the segment of subcompact SUVs, but on the drawings looks more impressive due to large wheels and elongated proportions. The design features slim LED headlamps, massive bumper guards, ID.Every1-inspired fenders and a through line of taillights. Some details, including a futuristic diffuser with illumination, will surely be simplified in the production version.
The basis is the MEB Entry platform, familiar from the ID.2all and ID.1Every concepts. In the list of modifications are expected versions with front and all-wheel drive, with one or two electric motors. Production will start at the plant in Pamplona (Spain), which now produces T-Cross and Taigo. The related Skoda Epiq will also be assembled there.
The price should be slightly higher than ID.2all (from €25,000 in Germany) - tentatively €25,000-30,000 ($27,000-32,000). The new model will have to compete with the Kia EV2 and EV3, Toyota Urban Cruiser, Suzuki e-Vitara, Ford Puma Gen-E, Peugeot E-2008, Opel Mokka Electric, Jeep Avenger, Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica and Volvo EX30.
